Fox Lake & Spring Grove, IL — Ray Auto Group, home to Ray Chevrolet and Ray Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, was proud to play a major role in this year’s Fourth of July celebrations, showing their ongoing commitment to the communities they serve.

The festivities kicked off on July 3rd, when Ray Auto Group served as the title sponsor for the highly anticipated Bella Cain concert, part of the Celebrate Fox Lake series. Thousands gathered to enjoy the live music, with Ray’s support helping to make the event a memorable night for local families and music fans.
“We’re honored to support events that bring people together,” said a Ray Auto Group spokesperson. “Celebrating our independence with music, fun, and community connection is exactly what the Fourth is all about.”

On July 4th, the celebration continued with Ray Auto Group proudly participating in both the Fox Lake and Spring Grove parades. Decked out in patriotic pride, Ray’s vehicles rolled through the streets alongside Jeeps on the Run, adding an extra level of excitement for paradegoers.
The community showed up in force — and they didn’t go home empty-handed. Ray Auto Group and Jeeps on the Run handed out a festive mix of rubber ducks, coozies, duffel bags, and t-shirts, bringing smiles to families lining the parade routes. The giveaways were just one more way for Ray to thank the community for their continued support.

“These events are a great reminder of why we do what we do,” said Scarpelli. “Supporting the people and towns that support us is part of our mission, and we’re grateful to celebrate together each year.”
With fireworks, music, and miles of red, white, and blue spirit, the 2025 Fourth of July celebrations were a huge success — and Ray Auto Group was proud to be at the heart of it all.
